    Hey, everyone, and welcome to this fun little rambly video about my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh archetype, the Darklords! This is definitely a bit different from the other "Why I Like" videos I've done, since I'm not focusing on a single character from a piece of media, but I think it still fits the vibe of the series. And I'm actually pretty proud of some of the edits I did for this video, so I really hope you all like it!
    I've got a couple other videos rattling around in my head for what I could do somewhere later in April, so hopefully I can get something together on that front in the next week or two. Most likely it's either gonna be another "What If...?" or another "Matter Of Character" video, depending on what I'm leaning more towards.
    At any rate, I hope everyone's April is off to a good start! Also, DRINK WATER

    The funniest thing that ever happened to me was placing Ukoback on my opponents field with Indulged and watching with horror as they activated it's effect. One of the coolest games I ever had

They do both like sending stuff to the Graveyard, for different reasons, so there's certainly potential there, especially if you run Reasoning or Monster Gate to do big mills.

    Yesterday i just watched a video talking about the darklord lore which has become one of my favourite archetype lore (only behind Vendreads) and im happy to see more people talking about this archetype
    As for my favourite Archetype, it has to be Dragunity. It's my first ever deck i played in dueling book and Master Duel once i finally managed to play yugioh in some way. The design (both mechanics of equipping your dragon type tuners and the artworks themselves) is incredibly cool (im also a 5ds/synchro kid so theres a bit of a bias there). And their lore being the reason why the ice barrier dragons were sealed is just so epic to me.

The last time they appeared is in Dragunity Divine Lance (where basically the Dragunity as a species are long gone and the only thing left remain are parts of the dragons) which was the reason Infernoid Devyati (and to some extent Decatron because Decatron is basically Devyatis Head) was defeated.

    I was SO happy that we got Darklord support that expanded the archetype and especially loved how they tied it to the Forbidden Quick play spell storyline and Condemned Maiden (Who i believe is supposed to be based on Lilith)
    Edit: got to the part where you mentioned Condemned Darklord being labeled as Pandora and tbh i don't see it, she has more in common with Lilith who is someone that also was condemned and cursed because Lilith wanted to be equals with Adam, the maiden dabbling in the forbidden items feels like it is closer to how God forbade Adam and Eve from the Fruit of the tree of knowledge.
    this also raises the question then of how Condemed Darklord got a hold of Zerato since he's supposed to be an archlord, given that we had the quick play Forbidden Droplet and it showing one of the darklords being forced to drink it i think Condemned Darklord FORCED some of the archlords who still served heaven to become corrupted which, yeah kinda makes their revenge less noble looking

    My favorite archetype is infernoids. Kinda for a similar reason you like darklords. The duel terminal lore is rather weird and in it infernoids are seen like the biggest threat yet. But aome say they whete made by the gods which doesnt make sense. In some normal mornsters like the qli its mentioned they are like a virus to life , anti life of some sort. I like to think this machines where made eons ago by a now lost civilization in an attempt to replicate gods themselves at the image of sophia and tierra (and maybe fucking a-vida if we ever get a connection on how that ended in the world legacy lore) but this creations where to much , festering on human souls. Machines overcoming life itself to feed off of souls and destroy everything in its path. Sophia was like “wowowowowowo ….wtf” from here idk much of the specific dt lore but i know sophia herself didnt seal the noids because they had the equal opposite power of tierra by her side. I just love the concept of humas making something to rival god and it going rouge on both

    Wow, I can see why you love this archetype so much. But I never knew that Master Duel was free to play. Do the cards still cost money, like in the Pokemon TCG where you have to buy actual packs and then enter a code to use them in the game?

    • @SuperNerdDaniel
      @SuperNerdDaniel  6 місяців тому +3

      Actually, no, you could build a competent Deck totally for free in Master Duel! There's in-game currency called Gems that you can obviously spend real money on, but you can earn them for free just by completing Daily Missions (you get three each day, worth 40 a piece upon completion), as random rewards sometimes after completing Ranked Duels, as rewards for participating in events, and sometimes they'll just give Gems as part of special celebrations, like the one that's happening right now to celebrate the fact that they just hit 60 million downloads!
      Also, the game has a Solo Mode, with several paths that give you little bits of lore about different archetypes (some have more than others, so the paths are varying lengths), and also each of them typically has at least one stage where the reward is a one-time thing of 200 Gems, and there's a LOT of Solo Mode paths to play through now 2 years into the game.
      Just to put that all in perspective, a single pack in-game would cost you 100 Gems apiece, or you can pull 10 packs all at once for 1000. That being said, between all the ways you can get Gems just by playing the game, you should be able to put something decent together in no time! And hey, even if your pulls don't get you what you're looking for, you can always dismantle them for in-game crafting materials that you can use to craft specific cards yourself later on.
      Honestly, it's pretty generous to new players (which is part of the reason why certain challenges requiring a fresh account are probably so popular amongst MD players), so if you're curious, I'd say give it a shot! It's on basically every platform, so you've got nothing to lose, really.
